l IMPROVEMENT IN OVERALLS.

Specifica-tion forming part of Letters Patent No. 143,947, dated October21, 1873; application filed August 4, 1873.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EMIL WEIL, ofthe city, county, and State of NewYork, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Overalls, of whichthe following is a specification:

The accompanying drawing represents my improved overalls.

The object of my invention is to furnish for workmen or others who wearoveralls, for the protection of their clothes, an improved kind, whichare more easily and quickly slipped over the pants and readily appliedwithout the use of buttons, Suspenders, &c., iitting the body of theperson, and adjusting itself to the position of the same. My inventionconsists of short elastic bands inserted and appliedf into theband-piece of the overalls, and closed by a common belt-buckle, which isdrawn through a slit of a flap attached tothe lower front edge of theoveralls, and covered by the same.

In the drawing, A represents the overalls, of suitable material used forthat purpose. B is the band-piece, into which are inserted and applied,at both front ends of the same, the short elastic bands C, which areprovided at their ends with the clasps of a common beltbuckle, D. Alongthe lower vertical front edge of the overalls A is firmly attached theinwardly-extending flap E, of narrow triangular or similarshape, theupper part of which forms a projecting piece of the height and width ofband-piece B. A slit, a, of the upper part of flap E, serves for drawingthrough one of the clasps, so that on locking them the buckle D slipsunder the flap and is covered by it.

Thcoveralls t tightly to the body, close well in front, and aremanufactured at less expense, as no buttons, button-holes, Sac., are re*quired.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- The overalls A, having band-piece B and flap E a,combined with end-buckled elastic bands C, as described, whereby buttonsare rendered entirely unnecessary.

EMIL VEIL.
